A variety of professionals from community organizations and justice agencies attend the Implementation Leadership Academy.

We are especially delighted when participants join from other industries outside of the justice system and beyond the United States—even as far as Sweden!

- Solving difficult problems and adopting a better way of getting work done

- Identifying opportunities to align practices and achieve better outcomes
